Fun with Lynnea

Yesterday Lynnea had a great day -- still full of smiles and giggles. Today was pretty good too, though she did have a fever, which made her a little grumpy at times. This evening she is in a playful mood again. She saw the Speech Therapist today because she seems to be aspirating the water that she insists on drinking off from a sponge. For now we are going to thicken her water to a nectar consistency so that it is easier for her to swallow. She didn't seem to mind this. We also offered her some baby food, which she completely refused, just like before surgery. Today the began working on weaning her sedation medications again, which still seems to be going OK. Tomorrow she will probably have another echocardiogram done before trying to transition her off from the IV Milrinone that she is on for her heart function right now.
